Here is a brief history on this glorious day…NATIONAL CAKE DAY.

November 26 recognizes a dessert that
you will find at almost everyone’s birthday party whether they are age 1 or
over 100. It is also the dessert of choice for bridal and baby
showers, wedding receptions, retirement parties and just about any social event.
Add ice cream, and you have America’s top favorite desserts in the same dish!

Whether it’s a shapely cake or the less curvaceous sheet cake, these sweet
layered, frosting covered or fondant decorated works of art scream celebration!
It may be made at home from scratch, or from a box mix or picked up from
the bakery or grocery store. Whichever way, a cake can be one, or a
combination of, thousands of flavours.

No one can know how many, as there are
countless cake recipes, some of which are bread-like, some rich and elaborate
and many are centuries old. Of Viking origin, the word cake is derived from Old
Norse “kaka”. Cake then was more like gingerbread due to the
availability of refined ingredients.

Cakes typically contain a combination
of flour, sugar, eggs and butter or oil, with some variety of liquid which may
be milk or water, along with a leavening agent such as yeast or baking powder. Flavourful
ingredients are often added, for example; chopped nuts, fresh, candied or
dried fruit, fruit purees or extracts. Cake can be enjoyed with or
without frosting or icing.

Happy Bonfire Night... Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in the United Kingdom. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London; and months later, the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act Enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure. wiki.com
